Requires EPA to list certain PFAS chemicals as hazardous air pollutants.
This bill would require the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to officially list certain PFAS chemicals as hazardous air pollutants. Industries that release these chemicals would then face new rules and monitoring. This could lead to cleaner air and less exposure to these substances for the general public.
Currently, specific perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are not listed as hazardous air pollutants under the Clean Air Act. This means there are no federal rules under this act specifically controlling their release into the air. If this bill becomes law, the EPA would be required to add these PFAS chemicals to the hazardous air pollutant list within 180 days, and then identify the industries that release them within 365 days, leading to new emission regulations.
